The experience was great. Our waitress was super awesome, food was good and the live music was a sweet touch. The only negative is that we sat at a table and their was some lady walking a round with an ipad came to our table twice to ask if we are having anything else. The feeling we got is she is trying to hurry us out to get the table.

Dining at this restaurant was somewhat disturbing and annoying The table and chairs were too high for people of a mature age. If I were a baby then being placed in a high chair would have been fine, but I am not. The waitress had to stack the plates and cutlery on the end of the table for the customers to distribute, because she couldn't really reach the table, Perhaps there should be a height requirement to work in the section of the restaurant with high tables, just a suggestion. If I wanted to serve myself I would have stayed home. We called earlier to make a reservation for a 6:30 p.m. -6:45 p.m. and was told they couldn't accommodate us. I went to look on line and was able to book the reservation. Seems to me there is a huge disconnect.

I always go there and this time it was far below my expectations. Table was not reserved as requested and I ended up in very bad one. My starter took ages to arrive - I had to ask “twice” about it. Attendant never came to ask for more drinks. We always has to keep calling her and i was a fight to get her attention. If next time I get the same experience I will just leave. And I usually do not come back when I do so!

A nice upbeat vibe at Moxie’s Pickering. Our server, Bryanna was wonderful. She made great suggestions and was very thorough! They didn’t have the gluten-free bun so that was a bit disappointing since I have celiac and limited options. Other than that, the food was still very good and their drink/dessert menu had plenty of options.

Hi Andrea- Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review- it is greatly appreciated by the entire team! We are overjoyed to hear that Bryanna provided exceptional service; and do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the gluten free bun during your visit.
